Hitler makes Advances By Katie Chaney During November 1923, Hitler decided to barge in on a beer hall meeting. During this intrusion, Hitler brought in his storm troopers, but it ended in a bad manner. Police fired shots, and as a result, 16 of his men were shot and killed.

As many are aware, Hitler is leading the Nazi party, which contains 35,000 members, as a result of a very quick growth rate, considering there were only 40 members in the early 1920’s.

The beer hall meeting held around 3,000 businessmen, and the meeting was held in Munich. Only 600 of Hitler’s members barged in on this meeting and the members stood around to intimidate the members within the hall.

Publication of Mein KampfBy Liam Roach To those avid readers interested in the mindset of a radical politician, volume 1 of Adolf Hitler’s autobiography, “Mein Kampf” (German for “My Struggle”) has been published. Documenting both his personal experiences and his political ideals, “Mein Kampf” was published on July 18th, 1925.

So here’s a little message to avid readers of this newspaper. Howdy.

Plague StrikesBy Katie Chaney The newly informed “Bubonic Plague” is striking towards the human race more than ever. The plague’s actual name “Yersinia Pestis”, occurs in the lymph nodes and is killing off bits and pieces of the population. The plague is striking throughout India as its attacking zone. There is no known cure to this plague, but countries are doing their best to isolate themselves from the lethal disease.

Wall Street Stock Market CrashBy Liam Roach The stock market has failed! Falling a drastic 11% immediately after the ringing of the opening bell, most of Wall Street’s market value took a very hard hit. Wealthy bankers such as Mr. Richard Whitney have attempted to control the vast drop in the market, and for now, it appears that they have succedded. How long this will last, none may know. Many things contributed to the stock market crash, most notably, margin trading. Margin trading, where a buyer can put down a very low percentage of the total cost of a stock. Most of these buyers weren’t paying attention to the risks and the fact that the lenders who covered the rest of the margin are able to make “margin calls,” and demand payment immediately legally. As soon as stocks began to fall, and margin calls were made, and many people watched as their wealth disappeared.

Escape Artist Pronounced Dead!By Liam Roach World renowned trickster, Harry Houdini has officially been pronounced dead, as of October 31st, 1926. While details surrounding his death are sketchy at best, several theories have been formulated. Houdini seems to have died from either peritonitis, or from his ruptured appendix. Houdini is reported to have been repeatedly struck in the abdomen unprepared nearly a week before, by a university student.

Having allegedly been in pain for several days after the incident with the student, Houdini is said to have finally gone to a doctor before a performance. He was diagnosed with acute appendicitis, but refused treatment, and instead went on to perform. The life insurance claim is being investigated in order to determine exact cause of death and return rate.

Return of the Smallpox BreakoutBy Alex Wilson The deadly disease smallpox started in 1853. The originating area where this disease started is unclear. Now spreading all across the country, smallpox returns! Just this week alone there were 116 new cases in Toronto, and 400 new cases worldwide. No one is safe.

First Commercial Radio BroadcastBy Katie Chaney

There’s a first for everything in this small world it seems. Technology has allowed for us to have to tune in on the news over a radio broadcast. August 31, we have witnessed the miracle before our eyes.

Radio AdvancingBy Alex Wilson Radio started out as commercial broadcasting featuring spoken news. Now it is way more than that. If you tune in at the right time you can catch comedy shows, news, live events, and jazz. This network runs 24 hours and provides plenty of entertainment. This broadcast is geared towards the preservation of nostalgic broadcasting! The radio is still advancing. I can't wait to see what else it has in store.

KDKABy Alex Wilson For those of you who don't know, KDKA is a radio station! It was created and founded by Westinghouse Electric Corporation and Licensed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. It was created on november 2, 1920. The radio world and the technology involved is advancing! KDKA is now the first commercial radio station in the world! Some people have claimed it's also the first commercially licensed radio station. KDKA broadcasts news/talk radio. The central feature is spoken

news. The signal of the station stretches to western pennsylvania along with parts of ohio west virginia maryland new york virginia and kentucky as well as Ontario the province of Candada. This is a great way of spreading news. In the future I can see news and radio stations growing world wide. We can thank Frank Conrad for blessing us with the ability of communicating by radio. His efforts were used as well as his experience supervising the manufacturing of military receivers during WW1.

This page normally functions as the tech

part of the newspaper. Radio dominates it today.

Totally turned this in late, but yeah. Nobody knows.

League of NationsBy Alex Wilson Paris Peace Conference is a meeting of allied victors that followed the ending of the first world war! As result of this meeting an intergovernmental organization was founded known as the League of Nations. The basic mission of the League is to "maintain world peace." In the covenant (law of contract by deed) the primary goals were stated. The primary goals consisted of preventing war through collective security and disarmament, and settling international disputes through negotiation and arbitration. Also including labour conditions, treatment of native inhabitants, human drug trafficking, arms trade,

global health, prisoners of war, and protection of minorities in Europe. These can also be found in other treaties.

Women’s RightsBy Alex Wilson It's the roaring twenties! Women are gaining rights. Women are now being hired for office jobs and are granted freer lives. This is all thanks to the 19th amendment being passed. After many years of ratifying, the 19th amendment was finally passed. This amendment went into effect last night at midnight. This amendment grants suffrage to women. The new rights being granted to women by the 19th

amendment consist of voting rights, suffrage acts. Women worked long and hard to achieve getting the law passed.This amendment was introduced in 1878 and was finally passed and put into effect August 18th of 1920.

Prohibition BeginsBy Alex Wilson

Alcohol is becoming a major issue in the United States! People have hope for making society a better place. Organizations have formed and are forming to publicly go against the consumption of alcohol.Laws in many states have already banned alcohol.

NEW MACHINE REVEALS TRUTH

A machine has been invented that is said to determine if a person is lying. The machine, invented by John Larson, a medical student at the University of California, the machine reportedly is able to detect various physical reactions brought on by lying. The name for the device, “Polygraph,” comes from the process that the machine uses of recording several different body responses simultaneously as an individual is questioned. A less effective version of the Polygraph was in existence in 1902. It was created by James Mackenzie. This new, much more effective version proves to be of much more worth as it gives more reliable results. It is uncertain how this new technology will be utilized. Perhaps this device could be used for police investigations in the future. Time will tell if the Polygraph will grow in popularity.

Throw away your old metal razor and get the new electric razor. Invented in 1928 by Col. Jacob Schick, it allows you to shave your face without using shaving cream or getting your face wet. This all American gadget needs no lather and works just like the hair cutters used by most barbers. On March 10th, 1926

inventor Dr. Herbert Ives introduced the v ideo telephone to the AT&T phone company. This A m e r i c a n i n v e n t i o n allowed people in labs or p e o p l e w h o o w n e d businesses to see a person’s face while they were talking to them on the p h o n e b y h a v i n g a television camera facing each of the people talking and having that camera send the images to a screen that can be seen by the other person. The image on the two inch by

two and half inch screen was very low-definition but it could still be made out as a human face. Ives proposed this invention so that AT&T could speed up their facsimil system. He spent two years working on this invention and with a little help from others, Herbert Ives was able to let people visibly see who they were talking to over the phone.

You can now listen to the radio in your car. Thanks to William (Bill) Lear, who served in the navy as a radio operator during World War I, and Elmer Wavering.After getting fixing of all the problems that would keep you from hearing the music Lear and Wavering took their invention to Paul Galvin who allowed them to work in his factory to perfect their car radio. In 1930 that Galvin was able to get the radio into production and after that the number of people who

wanted a radio in their car increased on a large scale.Leer and Elmer got the idea for this invention in 1929 while on a double date with their girlfriends and one of the girls. thought it would be nice to listen to music.

A child diagnosed with poliomyelitis, also known as polio, was saved from respiratory failure from an extraordinary new machine. The Drinker Respirator, invented by Phil l ip Drinker and Louis Shaw Jr., forces air into and out of the lungs allowing patients, such as people with polio, to breathe. Many scientist believe this machine could bring a new line of i n n o v a t i o n t o t h e medical field. Phil l ip Drinker and Louis Haw Jr. are b o t h p r o f e s s o r s a t H a r va rd S ch o o l o f Public Health.

In the year 1913 a woman named Alice Paul had done all she could to start getting rights for women of that time. Women had started doing men’s work and she thought that they should all have the same rights. Starting in Washington, on Pennsylvania Avenue, her women’s rights motions caught the attention of all women and some men.

Alice started to put pageants and parades together to protest the rights of the

women. One by one she turned all the states into women’s rights states. By 1920, all of Alice’s work came together. The 19th amendment was passed on August 8th, 1920, and gave women the right to vote.

Work became too much for the National American Woman's Suffrage Association so she formed the National Woman's party and kept up with her work.

Call it a disgrace. A rebellion. A change. Call it “new”. We women are changing around the world. We do the cooking and the cleaning. We do all of the housework and take care of the kids. We don’t go out and vote, or get jobs, or even get the supplies for food. We aren’t treated the same as men.

Women get told that we can’t do what men do. Well we are going to prove that we can. All of our husbands and men have gone off to war to fight for us but who is going to pick up the slack since they are gone? Us women are. We can do everything they can do and still make a living. Men aren’t the only ones who can provide for our families.

Since our men are gone and everything is left to us we have new roles. We are joining to army to help protect our country. We are getting

educations and becoming nurses. For the first time, we are entering the industrial plants. Many of the factories that us women are working in can be life threatening and also are big enemy targets, but us women are brave and work in them anyway.

With us women stepping up and taking on the roles of men our attitudes and thoughts about ourselves have changed too. We think that we should have the same rights as men, seen how we do the same jobs and have the same responsibilities. They think that since we are a different gender that we don’t have the mind capacity to make our own decisions and decisions for our city. They are wrong. We are just as smart and maybe even smarter than any man and we deserve the right to make our own decisions and put our opinion in. We need to demand better wages, and more rights.

Blacks are wanting a change just like the women. At the beginning of the 20’s the blacks started to move into town with us. Before they all lived and stayed in the south. Their towns and living conditions became so poor in the rural areas that if they

didn’t leave they wouldn’t have survived.

Once the blacks came to our cities, we didn’t accept them. We were purposely brutal with them trying to make them leave. They realized that life in the northern

cities was just as hard. They couldn’t get jobs and housing was poor.

Although through all of these rough times, they are still fighting for equal rights and fair treatment.

In the 1920’s, a law was passed stating that people could neither poses or consume any alcoholic beverage. With alcohol being illegal Gangsters were doing everything they could to change that law. New bars were beginning to come about called speakeasies; the

name was given to these bars reminding people to not speak of these bars. Having these bars made it easy for criminals to come in, sell the illegal alcohol, making tons of money. This illegal selling was soon abolished after criminals were

collecting so much money and nothing was being done to stop these sells. Maybe these illegal trades would have been stopped a while ago if certain people would of known the right password to get into the speakeasies.

During the 1920’s automobiles were becoming more and more popular, same as restaurants so we needed a way to put those two things together right? That’s where the idea of eating on the go came into play; we created the drive

but introducing the very first drive-in known as the amazing Texas Pig Stand. Later in the mid 1920’s Howard Johnson’s ice cream stands that popped up in Boston, this later evolved into the hotel and restaurant chain.

With alcohol being illegal the smugglers started coming about. Bootleggers would take their boats out on the docks and make a schedule with overseas ships in order to exchange alcohol such as whiskey,

wine, and rum to the bay. Guys from all over would bring whatever beverages they had to these undercover transfers.

These bootlegging business were mostly run by

criminals who were sneaky enough to keep them top secret. Al Capone was one of the many criminals who had this business in his back pocket.

Walking into a restaurant you would be surprised at what you see or smell for that matter. The 1920’s is a time where smoking is very popular. Smoking was a sign for men that if a man enjoyed that freedom that he was given he wouldn’t be afraid to smoke in public. For women, on the other hand, if

you saw a woman smoking this was a sign of appeal. Only the attractive women would have a cigarette in their hand.

Another piece of behavior that might surprise you if you were to walk into a 1920’s restaurant was the fact that women are having conversations and

enjoying themselves. The 1920’s introduced a wave of social life to women. They could now be free to have their own conversations and even work in the same restaurants as men.

Art deco isn’t just regular art. It is art that affects architecture. There were two artists that started this and they are Maxfield Parrish and C. Coles Phillips. They started it in Paris in the year of 1925. It didn’t necessarily derive from the first exposition in Paris, but it has been a

major thing in Europe since the beginning of the 20’s. Art Deco is characterized by use of materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, lacquer, inlaid wood, sharkskin, and zebra skin. The bold use of zigzag and stepped forms, and sweeping curves, chevron patterns, and the sunburst motif.

The Surrealism movement started after World War 1 ended and is very much so still going on. The European avant-garde literary and art circles, which started with many surrealists. Surrealists were artists that took part in this movement. This movement was developed by André Masson. André Masson developed many different art techniques such as; automatic drawing, automatic painting, decalcomania, frottage, fumage, grattage, and parsenage. The automatic drawing and painting are doing so without control of your body with your conscious mind. Decalcomania is process of spreading thick paint upon a canvas then—while

it is still wet—covering it with further material such as paper or aluminum foil. Frottage is a method of creation in which one takes a pencil or other drawing tool and makes a "rubbing" over a textured surface. Fumage is when impressions are made on a canvas from smoke. Grattage is a method in which dry paint is scraped off a canvas. Parsemage is a method in which dust from charcoal or colored chalk is scattered on the surface of water and then skimmed off by passing a stiff paper or cardboard just under the water's surface. These techniques were used by the Surrealist artists to create an avant-garde styled piece of artwork.

movies have been a big hit since the start of this century it’s popularity has skyrocketed, it’s made a big boom in its reputation, but with actors and actresses like Charlie Chaplin (pictured above), Buster Keaton, Clara Bow, and Rudolph Valentino it would make it a little hard for these movies such as;

Four Horseman of the Apocalypse, Safety Last, and Battle of Chemulpo Bay, makes it that much more popular and even more difficult to decide on which one to see. Although, with all of this extra money, why is there a need to chose. Go see them all!

Being the life-of-the-party, Zelda Fitzgerald was labeled ‘The First Flapper’. Her and her husband, F. Scott Fitzgerald, are being talked about all over the country. Their crazy adventures such as riding on the taxi roof, jumping into the Union Square fountain, and even passing out together after drinking too much. Zelda was known for being crazy, inferior, and courageous.

Zelda and her husband care more about their appearance than anything which is what has led them to borrowing money to keep up with it. Their appearance has put them in

debt and is a reason that Fitzgerald has turned into an alcoholic.

Although Zelda seems alright, it has been said that she has undiagnosed bipolar disorder. She suffers at home while her husband is now barely providing because of his drinking problem. Although when the Fitzgerald’s name is mentioned everyone thinks of when they went jumping into the Union Square’s fountain.

Her flapper, flapping in the air, got her her label and fame for being the first one with the new hair style.

In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s book, The Great Gatsby, Gatsby has a certain way of obtaining his clothing. He has a man from England pick out his entire wardrobe for the year and then ship it to him. He is very proud of his clothes because they are

silk and all different kinds of threads that he thinks he can impress Daisy with.

He later in the book wears a pink suit that shows his money. Although Tom says that he can’t be an oxford man if he wears a pink suit because

that’s not what was in style. Gatsby had his own style with his clothes from England. All he wants to do is impress Daisy with his fancy clothing and it actually works when he throws them all over her.

not the only reason we wish he was real though; Imagine the entertainment that all of us would have every weekend when he would host his magnificent parties that would leave us all astounded. Fitzgerald really

makes his characters come to life in this book, it almost gets you to thinking that it’s real. All I have to say is that I wish it were.

U.S.A Wins in “The Battle of the Century”!

90,000 people gathered today to witness the $1.6 million-dollar boxing match between European champion and Frenchman, Georges Carpentier, fighting the American, world heavyweight champion, Jack “the Manassa Mauler” Dempsey in Jersey City, New Jersey. The legendary bout ended with a knockout in the 4th round as Dempsey threw several on-point punches to the chin of Carpentier, dropping him to the canvas. This solidified the American’s title as the heavyweight champion of the world, and proved, once again, that there is nowhere better than the U.S.A. --Tanner

The New GameThere have been some rumors going around about a new sport being formed. I’m here to answer

all of your questions. The rumors are true; the new sport is called, “Football”. Which is ironic because you play with your hands. The league itself is called the NFL, or the, “National Football League.” The games rules are quite simple, tackle the person with the football. The sport seems kind of barbaric, especially without any protection. This new sport coming about should make for an interesting future. -- Rye’ll

A “MUSH” TO SAVE LIVES

In January a diphtheria epidemic had broken out in Nome, Alaska and the only serum was 700 miles away in Anchorage. The only two airplanes were being stored away for the long winter, so the only solution was the serum to be “mushed” to the victims. A relay of 18 dogsled teams was set up to get the serum from Anchorage to Nome, a 674 mile travel. On February 1st, after losing communication with the sled team due to gale force winds, Gunnar Kaassen arrived in Nome with the serum, lead by his lead dog, Balto.

Ten rounds, two fighters, one champion. On Thursday September 22, 1927 a boxing rematch between world Heavyweight champion Gene Tunney and former champion Jack Dempsey took place at Soldier Field in Chicago. Almost a year after Tunney and Dempsey’s first fight where Tunney stole the title from Dempsey, they were back at it once more to prove who was the real champion. The fight went on like everyone predicted for the first six rounds. Tunney dominating with his usual style of boxing from a distance and looking for openings, but in the seventh round, there was a change up. Tunney got cornered against the ropes and Dempsey was able to land two lefts and two rights on Tunney’s chin, and four punches later, Tunney was on the ground for 13 seconds, from the time he was knocked down, to the time he got up. People are now calling it the “ Long Count Fight” because of this and although Tunney went on to defend his title with a win by unanimous decision, it was a fight that will forever be remembered. -- By Cruise

THE END OF JACK DEMPSEY'S CAREER

Jack Dempsey is probably the best thing that ever happened to boxing since boxing gloves! Throughout his whole boxing career he’s had 60 wins, and has had only 7 loses. 51 of Dempsey’s wins were knockouts. In all of my years of reporting

sports,I have never seen anyone like this! My first boxing match I ever watched was Dempsey finishing a fight within 4 minutes of the first round in his fight against Jess Willard for the World Heavyweight Title in 1919.Dempsey’s boxed professionally since 1914, and his last fight scheduled for him to fight is September 22, 1927 against Gene Tunney. You do not want to miss the last fight of Jack Dempsey’s professional boxing career. -- Ian

NEGROS.... IN BASEBALL?This morning, it has been announced that there is a professional Negro League forming up for the first time. Rube Foster, is the man who is responsible for making this possible. If you don’t think negroes should be playing baseball like me, then you should talk to Mr. Foster. He is the one

who gave the negroes some organization and turned them into an actual league. At the same time it’s good because, now the negroes will be more focused on playing in their leagues instead of messing up good ol’ fashion white man baseball. --- Rye’ll

NEGRO LEAGUE BASEBALL

Baseball isn’t just for whites anymore, as Negro League Baseball has started up. The NNL (Negro National League) started up in 1920, and 3 years later the ECL (Eastern Colored League) was created. This league allows the African Americans to play baseball, as they are not allowed to play with the whites. Although this isn’t baseball from the Major League, it is still some of the best baseball that I have ever watched. These men are very athletic and really fun to watch. They are so talented that I believe that the blacks will eventually play with the whites to keep the game more exciting. -- Ian

HORSING AROUNDYesterday the country obsessed race horse Man O’ War, set the record for fastest mile ever ran by a race horse. Man O’ War not only set the record for the United States, but also for the world. The previous record holder was Big Red, from England. Big Red’s real race that year was against the

world record for a mile (2:16.8), which had been set in 1908 by the horse Dean Swift. The American record of 2:17.4 had been set by Sir Barton at the 1919 Belmont.

On May 28, 1923, an uncommon event happened. 19-year-old Richard Roswell was charged with 1st degree murder in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Youth murderers are rare and

frightening. Our children should be studying and playing ball in the yard, not committing atrocities like Roswell.In my opinion the teen murderer deserved the punishment and should not be treated like a minor.

Richard Roswell has been accused of the stalking and murder of Angelo Cloftl. It has been confirmed that Roswell was obsessed with the victim and followed Cloftl around, learning his schedule and organizing the attack. Angelo had just departed from his occupation when Roswell allegedly shot him multiple times causing his death. No official number has been given for the amount of shots fired at Cloftl. Roswell will likely be spending time in prison and serving 10-40 years for First degree murder.

It is very uncommon in our society today to have youth committing such horrific crimes. This is why they deserve the same punishment as adults in this case. Having Harsher punishments on the youth will decrease the number of youth murderer’s in the United States and the state of Arkansas.

Juvenile Should be charged as adult

T h e S c o p e s T r i a l Unconstitutional?

In July 1925, Mr. John Thomas Scopes (a

Dayton Tennessee, High School Teacher) was accused of

illegally teaching the theory of evolution to his students. The

Butler Act was the law he broke which stirred up debates in

this small town and all over the world arguing about whether

a teacher should have the right to teach what they thought

was best to help educate their students. I am on the

defending side of Mr. Scopes. I believe it should be his

choice to teach what he felt was the best education to his

students and not be prosecuted for his teachings.

The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union)

Which work to protect individual rights and liberties

guaranteed by the Constitution, help people go to court

when their personal rights have been violated, and in this

case I greatly believe they have been. Many people are

against the ideals of evolution that claims we evolved from

monkeys. Many don’t want to believe this and use the bible

as an accurate historical record (allegedly) . I’m not here to

say which side is more correct, but i’m here to say this man

should not have been prosecuted for speaking about it in

his own classroom.

I believe it’s his right to be able to speak about,

and teach this subject, and restricting him from doing so,

goes against his freedom of speech and teaching rights. I

believe personally if the teacher believes the subject can

help his students in the future, and help better educate

them. Then why not be able to teach it? It’s just plain dumb.

Do you think that Alcohol should be prohibited here in the United States? Many people of our community are

indifferent about the idea of banning alcohol, but others feel as

if the federal government is slowly taking away their personal

rights. This law was passed and introduced here in the states

in 1916 and is still in effect now. The government is under the

impression that the grains to make distilled alcohol is needed

to make more food and that our sources of grain are limited

because of the war. In December of 1917, the law was passed

to ban the Imports, exports, and sales of Alcohol in the United

States and It has caused many distilleries and Breweries to

come to a complete halt in the Production of alcoholic

beverages.

In 1916, 26 out of the 48 U.S. States had officially banned alcohol permanently. The Proponents

believe that banning the alcohol will increase the nations health

and would cause the crime rates to drop dramatically. It has

been predicted that since alcohol has been banned, that other

beverages will become popular and fill in the gap of all the

alcohol in the market. Ever since the ban of any alcohol,

greater than 2.75% of alcohol, Crime has increased and the

health of the people has deteriorated dramatically. Many

people have been arrested for the production of Illegal alcohol

and jails are still piling up with people who have or had

contained any alcoholic beverages with them. It has also

caused a lot of drug use in the United States, possibly even

more than before, and many have been convicted for illegally,

selling or having alcohol.

It has cost millions of dollars for the act to pass and to be supported throughout the United States and It will cost

many more to keep this law going. The people will still continue

to smuggle alcoholic beverages into the United States, even if it means taking the risk of being caught and put into jail. If we

don’t do something about this unconstitutional act, it will cause

massive problems and could possibly result into Economical

issues. With the situation that we are in, should our country

continue to ban the use and selling of alcohol, or should we

just sit back and watch our country go down to nothing? We all

should be free, have our own rights, and be happy. The

government needs to focus in on what we want, other than

what the governments believes.

Prohibition Sparks Huge Debate!

The Charleston got it’s name from the city of Charleston in South Carolina. The Charleston has become a popular dance here in the United States and In 1923, James Johnson composed a song for the Charleston. Though the Charleston was started by African-American cities, it became one of the United States most popular dances of the decade. Many of the Dancers dance the Charleston are white flapper girls and speakeasy’s who would mock the citizens that supported the prohibition. Many of the people who supported the prohibition believed that the Charleston was an inappropriate dance. Though know, the dance has evolved a little more over the past few years, it still has some of the original moves included into it, but many people have added their own touch to the dance.

Ever since the government banned Alcohol, many people have been breaking the law and finding other ways to have fun without involving alcohol. I don’t think anyone has the right to tell

people what they can and can’t dance. I’m sure there is someone doing something way worse than the Charleston. They are just trying to have fun and add a little more excitement and could possibly help future dancer to create more dancing styles. They have already banned alcohol and I don’t think that it is fair if they try

and ban the Charleston because it is just a dance, it is not hurting anyone and it isn’t causing any issues. People that are for the prohibition just want what they want and not what anyone else wants.Learning the Charleston is very easy and you can learn the dance very fast. So instead of complaining about how the dancers are dancing, lets all let go and learn to Charleston.

The first talking movie has finally appeared in theaters. After the long wait, we are finally able to watch

the movie with sound. The movie was directed by Alan

Cropland and produced by the Warners Bros. The movie

is based on the play “The Day of Atonement” and it

included Al Jolson sang six songs. The movie is about a

fictional character who doesn’t follow the traditions of his

jewish family. When he sings popular songs in the Beer

Garden, his father punished him which made Jake want

to run away. A few years later, He becomes a talented

Jazz singer and he tries to improve at his career until

many conflicts come and he must face them in order to

continue on with his Jazz singing career.

Many people have went to the movies to watch

this interesting movie and have all gave it good reviews.

Most said that they enjoyed the movie having sound

which will make directors decide to start including sound

in all of their movies. Though the sound of the movie

was not the best of quality, It is still the first movie to

introduce sound into it.

This movie shows that our technology and

thinking is improving greatly. It may not be improving at a

fast pace, but after time, we will see many new and

better technology than what we have today. If you’re

looking for a great time and a great movie to watch, I

would recommend “The Jazz Singer” It is a amazing

movie, and will be kept in history for our grandchildren

and other family members in the future.

To entertain our children, Walt Disney has created the first

cartoon with little sound featuring Mickey Mouse. The first

official episode was all Steamboat Willie. Mickey Mouse has

replaced Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, which was also created

by the Disney Studio for Charles Mintz, but was first named

Mortimer Mouse .Disney asked Mintz for a raise in the

budget, but Mintz declined and demanded they take a 20%

budget cut and reminded Disney that Universal studio’s

owned the character and told disney that he had signed over

most of his current employee’s to his new contract. Disney

refused and created the final Oswald cartoons. He felt

betrayed by his employee’s, but was determined to start

again from scratch.

Mickey Mouse has taught our children many new thing, while

he also entertained them. Mickey mouse is very popular and

seems to be a big hit with children of all ages. Although

Mickey hasn’t completely have talking in it, It is still a fun and

entertaining show and will keep kids happy and not bored.

The show is age appropriate and includes many other

characters that aren’t as big as Mickey, but still important to

the story. Disney was really smart with his creations and he

really paid attention to what children like and incorporated it

into his ideas.

Since Mickey is so popular, that I think the show will

continue on past all of our life times. It was an amazing

creation and will be a huge part of Disney’s and our future

families futures. I recommend having your children watching

this awesome and educational show if you aren’t now.

Mickey Mouse, I believe you will go down in history!

In February 1920, seattle

began a strike over labor and lack of

pay. It was proclaimed the first city-wide,

labor action in america. It led off to a

devastating era of post-World War I

labor conflict that saw massive strikes

shut down the nation's steel, coal, and

meatpacking industries and threaten

civil unrest in a dozen cities. In

shipyards are where the strikes began,

where war production workers expected

a post-war pay raise. This was to make

up for strict pay control for the last two

years by the federal government.

Regulators refused the pay raise, so the

Metal Trades Council union alliance

declared a strike and closed the yards.

After an appeal to Seattle’s Central

Labor Council for help, most of the city’s

local unions voted to join a sympathy

walkout. The Seattle General Strike

lasted less than a week but the memory

will be long lasting.

I strongly support these hard

working men and women. They have

been stripped by the federal

Government of their deserving benefits

and need a focused strike to earn them

back. That is exactly what they did too.

On the morning of February 6, 1919,

Seattle, stopped working. 25,000 union

members had joined the 35,000 already

on strike. Much of the remaining work

force was idled as stores closed and

streetcars stopped running. The General

Strike Committee, composed of

delegates from the key striking unions,

tried to coordinate vital services and

negotiate with city officials. This was a

strong and much needed attempt to

earn their dues.

The Strike ran into troubles

instead, due to the news press and

national news calling this a revolutionary

plot. This caused the strikers to be met

with crowd control, federal troops and

martial law. Many Unions Wavered on

the strike, several went back to work

without the pay raise or benefits they

rightfully deserve. I strongly Believe the

protesters in Seattle should have stuck

to their guns, and demand they be

treated better. They had a revolution on

their hands around the nation. They

should not have backed down.

Medical researcher Frederick Banting and research assistant Charles Best studied the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas of dogs at the University of Toronto. Banting believed that he could find a cure for the "sugar disease" (diabetes) in the pancreas. In 1921, they isolated insulin and successfully tested in on diabetic dogs, lowering the dogs' blood sugar level.On January 11, 1922, Leonard Thompson, a 14-year-old boy who was dying of diabetes, was given the first human experimental dose of insulin. It

saved his life. This was a revolutionary discovery! This could in fact rid our dying people of america, and the world of diabetes. I believe they should distribute the discovery around the world, That would save several men, women, and children. This could even help animals as proven with the disease.

In 1923, Banting and Macleod were awarded the Nobel Prize for their work on discovering insulin. What was once a death sentence, people now diagnosed with diabetes can live long lives thanks to the work of these men.

They greatly deserved the nobel prize, because this could change the world of medicine and lead to new discoveries and advancement to ridding diabetes. Good Job Guys! You did good.

A new music era is creeping up on us with the introduction of a brand new style of music they’re calling, ‘Jazz’. Within this new style you can recognize the switch from classical sounds to more upbeat and exciting tunes. Some people are rejecting the idea of jazz simply because it is being performed mostly by blacks. Despite some negativity it seems that the new music is spreading further and becoming increasingly popular. We believe that jazz is just a start in the evolution of musical arts. It has added something fresh to our musical choice and with it new styles of dance are blossoming as well. This is a new, wild, and jubilant music, born in New Orleans, and it was meant to be shared with the rest of the nation. Just listening to it makes the people feel free! It makes you feel alive! Nobody has ever played music like this before. Music so joyous that it could bring all of america outside and dancing down the streets.

A change in culture such as the one we are experiencing now is one that is meant to be embraced. Accept and enjoy these new jazz bands, and free yourself to a world of enjoyment!

According to the Declaration of Independence, all men are created equal. Where did that leave women?

Abigail Adams has played a very key role as women campaign together to gain political power. She had written a letter to her husband, John, who was debating independence from England in the Continental Congress, and urged him to "remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors." Otherwise, she warned from their home outside Boston, "we are determined to create a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation."And now, 144 years after this event, women in the US finally are included in a constitutional amendment that gives them the right to vote.That 19th Amendment says simply: "The right of citizens of the

United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." After a dramatic ratification battle that came down to a single decisive vote, women would finally have the right to participate in political matters.Women have been waiting for this amendment to come about for an extremely long time now. Many women that supported these campaigns are facing verbal abuse and even violence. These powerful women should not be attacked by the public, but instead celebrated and congratulated. They have finally taken a step towards proving to all of the country that women are in every way man’s equal.

The 18th Amendment went into effect on

January 16th of this year. It states that

alcohol is banned not only from being sold,

but also from even being manufactured.

Although it is now “illegal” for people to drink

liquor there are some loopholes that can be

found. Alcohol is allowed to people that have

been given a prescription by a doctor.

Needless to say, I believe we will be seeing a

rapid increase in new prescriptions written

this year.

We already have reason to believe that an

organization is forming, the ‘anti-prohibition

organization’, to join the fight to bring back

liquor.

The consumption of alcohol should not be

involved in the constitution. If it is to be

considered an ‘issue’ at all, it’s a local issue,

and nothing more. We have only one hope:

that the United States Supreme Court rules it

out, saying that this law does not agree with

one of the principles of the American

government, that is, liberty, which is every

man's right. If you ask me, this whole affair is

a laughing matter, because it ignores man’s

supposed freedom. We are well aware of the

fact that prohibition was originally passed as

a war measure but it has been over a year

since the war has ended. On the contrary,

the people are certain to show their

disrespect for the law if alcohol is not re-

legalized, and it will increase the number of

agitators and crime-bent organizations in this

country which are two very undesirable

elements to be dealt with now.

We encourage our readers to avoid violating

the laws our government has in place, in

regards to the consumption of alcohol.

Although we do believe that the prohibition is

a silly law, we are obligated as citizens to

obey every last law that our government puts in place. We believe that the time will come

The way we view films, and the impact

that they have on us, will forever be

changed. A movie titled ‘The Jazz

Singer’ was just released in October,

and this film is unlike anything the

public has seen before. Unbelievably,

they have learned to incorporate sound

into the films.

This new idea is magnificent.

Not only does it give the movies more

depth, but it also makes them much

more entertaining. We find that it is

much easier for these “talking pictures”

to capture and keep your interest. It is

highly likely that movies with sound will

become a huge phenomenon in the

near future.

Some filmmakers and critics

may say that they believe the

introduction of dialogue to films will ruin

the aesthetic virtues of soundless films.

However, judging from the popularity of

the newly released talking motion

picture, we can safely say that the

development of sound and movies will

lead to a rapid expansion of our

nation’s film industry.

Although it may take time for

the public to see the true greatness of

this innovation in the filming industry, it

is more than obvious that it was a

marvelous idea. We encourage you to

go out to the cinema as

how exciting these new

movies are for yourself.

Many of us American’s have heard or

read the book, the Great Gatsby. The

book was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald

and was in the perspective of one of

the main character, Nick Carraway.

Nick meets a man named Gatsby, who

is his next door neighbor. Gatsby had

invited Nick to attend one of his many

parties hosted at Gatsby’s Mansion.

They have many Affairs, twists, and

turns involved in the book that remind

us all of our daily lives.

The Great Gatsby fits many of

us American Citizens everyday life.

Many events happened in the 1920’s. It

shows us all true Friendship and how

everything in life isn’t always how it

seems. You never really know who you

can trust, and when you find someone

you can trust and someone you can

love, life will be good, and you can die

happy. As for Gatsby, He had reunioned

with another character by the name of

daisy, who he loved even before he

went off to war, and was shot and killed

at the end of the book by one other

character, Wilson. I think that the book

was very interesting and really got the

feel for our everyday lives in the

twenties.

I interviewed Aubrey Silvey, who has also read the book “The Great Gatsby”. When asked what her favorite part of the book was, She said, “I enjoyed the part of the book was when Nick was attempting to gather people to attend Gatsby’s funeral, and he came to the realization that although Gatsby was a great guy, he didn’t have any friends there for him in the end. Gatsby had thrown many parties and met countless people, but his money never granted him any happiness, and when his life came to an end Gatsby wasn’t really remembered.” Aubrey said that they really enjoyed the book and that she would love to read it again. The book has been a great success and will continue on through History.
